Vikings defensive end Jared Allen says he isn't worried about retaliation from the Bears Sunday, two weeks after he ended guard Lance Louis' season with a blind-side block that drew a $20,000 fine from the league. "They had a chance to retaliate during the game," said Allen, who did not have a reputation for dirty play before the hit that resulted in Louis suffering a torn ACL in his left knee.
